Egg cracker, egg separator and/or egg mixer

Abstract

An egg cracker may include a platform with a generally planar upper surface and a protrusion may extend upwardly from the generally planar upper surface of the platform to form an egg cracking structure. The platform may be connected to an annular support ring and connecting members may connect the platform and the annular support ring. The annular support ring may be sized and configured to be disposed within an upper portion of a container and, when a lid is attached to the container, the egg cracker may be enclosed by the container and lid.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Field of the Invention[0002]This application is generally directed towards an egg cracker, an egg separator and / or an egg mixer, more specifically, to an egg cracker, an egg separator and / or a container that may facilitate mixing of eggs, which may be used in combination and / or independently.[0003]Description of Related Art[0004]Conventional containers may hold a variety of different types of liquids and fluids. For example, conventional containers may hold powdered drinks, electrolyte pills, energy drinks, baby formulas, pancake batters, crepe mixes, baking materials, dietary supplements, salsa, sauces, oil and vinegar, salad dressings, smoothies, juices, coffee and creamer, medicinal products, non-edible materials, and the like.[0005]These known containers may be used in a wide variety of environments such as at home, office, gym or health club, and while traveling. Known containers may also be used during activities such as exercising, driving a car, or riding in ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system for cracking and separating eggs, which includes a container, a lid, and an egg cracker or egg separator. The egg cracker can be placed inside the container and fit snugly with the lid. It is easy to remove and replace, and can be used independently or together with the container and egg separator. The egg cracker has a platform with a protrusion that serves as an egg cracking structure. There is also a mixing device inside the container for mixing the egg. The system can perform multiple functions, such as cracking, separating, and mixing the egg.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional containers, however, may be difficult to use in certain situations.

For example, it may be difficult to add ingredients to some known containers.

Additionally, known containers may include an opening in the lid but the opening may be so small that it is challenging and burdensome to add ingredients through the opening.

Disadvantageously, many conventional egg crackers include multiple components, which may make the devices more difficult to manufacture and clean.

In addition, while conventional egg crackers may crack the egg, the devices may be relatively difficult and time-consuming to use.

Thus, users may spend a considerable amount of time before the egg cracker can be used to crack the egg.

Further, because some known egg crackers include a number of components and surfaces, users may have to spend a considerable amount of time and effort to clean the egg cracker after use.
